1.2 Commissioning procedures
Dockside preparation
The dockside preparation procedures comprise:
1. Switching on.
2. Checking SeaTalk and NMEA 0183 connections.
3. Checking rudder bar and steering operating sense, for either:
• SPX-10, SPX-30 & SPX-SOL systems
or
• SPX-CAN system
4. Dealer calibration settings. These are:
• Setting vessel type and drive type.
• Aligning rudder bar (if rudder reference transducer fitted).
• Setting rudder limits (if rudder reference transducer fitted).
WARNING: Ensure safe control
For safe control of your boat, you MUST complete the dockside
preparation before starting the initial seatrial.
If you are commissioning an SPX-CAN system connected to a Volvo Penta IPS
system, ensure the IPS system has been auto-configured in accordance with the
procedure in the SPX-CAN Installation Guide, before attempting to carry out the
commissioning procedure.
With the boat safely tied up, complete the following dockside preparation.
Step 1 - Switching on
1. When you have installed your SPX system, switch on the main power breaker.
2. If the SPX controller and computer are active, the controller will beep and show
the controller type for a few seconds, then show the
STANDBY
screen.
You may also see a
CALIBRATE REQUIRED
message. This is displayed for a
short time if either:
• The vessel type is not selected.
• The compass is not calibrated.
These will be calibrated during commissioning.
3. Check that the
STANDBY
screen displays a live compass heading.
